Guía informativa y práctica para empresarios del área de construcción sobre la aplicación y presentación del informe final de lavado de activos a la unidad de análisis financiero

Abstract

This work was performed in a critical economic sector like the construction area, where money laundering becomes stronger due to the boom of this activity, the lack of mechanisms of control and the recent implementation of the legislation. Due to the shortcomings that have the economic systems, money launderers will take advantage of this situation to introduce illegal money, while Governmental agencies will try to control and eradicate this crime using new mechanisms. That’s why we aim to expand the information about this issue and guide to the construction area entrepreneurs so they can be prepared and not get involved directly or indirectly in this crime. Furthermore we focus on the lack of a manual for construction companies, which must contain the main Laws to Repress Money Laundering, paying attention to the level of risk that the company has. For a better development of our project, we used a risk matrix doing inquiries, surveys, statistical analysis, facilitating the tabulation and graphical presentation of results, so everybody can visualize the critical areas of the company and put more emphasis to provide solutions. Besides, with the informative and practical guide we want give instructions about how to report the unusual transactions to The Financial Analysis Department, in order to accomplish all laws.
